Paint

Has anyone used this site for paint before? I'm planning on getting the nismo aero kit from Z1 but since it comes unpainted I need white pearl paint to match.

i think he is going to use the touchup brush to paint the entire aero kit?

i usually buy from paintscratch and paintworldinc.

Bringing the paint to my friends shop so he can use it to paint it

There's an option to buy the whole Gallon can

kenchan · 01-14-2011, 02:02 PM

yep, i think shops actually buy from the 2 shops i listed too in large volume.

ichris14 · 01-14-2011, 02:07 PM

How are the colors? Do they match well?

they were pretty good. silvers were kinda hard to match because the direction of the metallic flakes were in different orientation than the factory paint but the flakes themselves were very fine and looked good.
